Study Abroad

Some types of financial aid cannot be applied to Boston University study abroad programs, and grant may be reduced if study abroad charges are less than charges for study at the Charles River Campus. Boston University scholarships and grants may not be applied to non-BU programs. If you meet other eligibility criteria, federal and state financial aid and credit-based loans may be used for study abroad.

Less Than Full-Time Enrollment
